Correct answer
B. It is a secure database where employers report and check drivers' drug and alcohol program violations before hiring and annually

Employers must query the Clearinghouse for new hires and check it every year for current drivers, and violations are recorded there for other employers to find. A driver with an unresolved violation in the database cannot legally be dispatched.
